A laboratory manual gave precise instructions for carrying out the reaction described by the chemical equation, C2H6O + O2 C2H4O

2 + H2O. It stated that if you bubble oxygen gas through a solution containing the reactant for 24 hours then the yield of C2H4O2 would be 7.50% of the theoretical amount. If you desire to produce 700. grams of the C2H4O2 in a single batch, how many kg of C2H6O should you begin with?

C2H6O + O2 ---> C2H4O2 + H2O

using the molar masses:-
24+ 6 + 16 g of C2H6O  produces 24 + 4 + 32 g C2H4O2    (theoretical)
 46 g produces 60g 

60 g C2H4O2 is produced from 46g C2H6O
1g      .     .................................46/60 g 
 700g     .................................    (46/60) * 700  Theoretically

But as the yield is only 7.5% 

the required amount is    ((46/60) * 700 ) / 0.075 =  7155.56 g 

=  7.156 kg to nearest gram.  Answer

Earth’s early atmosphere was very different from our current atmosphere. Explain the presence or absence of gases in our current
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

heavier gases - sank to the surface

lighter gases - escaped into space

oxygen - produced through photosynthesis

carbon dioxide - released by volcanoes

Explanation:

Since the formation of the atmosphere on Earth, there has been constant changes in it, gradually leading to the atmosphere that we have nowadays. In the distant past, the atmosphere was much different, and it took lot of time for it to become what it is. The volcanoes with their activity contributed to constant release of carbon dioxide, resulting in the greenhouse effect. The organisms that are able to perform photosynthesis started to release lot of oxygen into the atmosphere, thus setting up better living conditions. The gravity of our planet contributed to the vertical distribution of the gasses, with the heavier being lower, and the lighter ones being further up or released into space.

What are the 3 critical components of an electromagnet and what purpose do they each serve?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A source of electricity, a wire coil, and an iron core  

Explanation:

An electromagnet has three critical components:

1. A source of electricity

This is often a battery.

It generates the electric current that produces the magnetic field.  

2. A wire coil

The wire carries the electric current.

Stacking the wire into loops makes a stronger magnetic field.

The more loops in the coil, the stronger the field.

3. An iron core

An iron core greatly increases the strength of the magnetic field within it and at its ends.

A gem has a mass of 4.50 g. When the gem is placed in a graduated cylinder 12.00 mL of water, the water level rises to 13.45 mL.
Mandarinka [93]
<span>Displaced volume :

</span>Final volume - <span>Initial volume

</span>13.45 mL - 12.00 mL => 1.45 mL

Mass =  4.50 g

Therefore:

density = mass / volume

D = 4.50 / 1.45

<span>D = 3.103 g/mL </span>

Simora [160]

The container with chalk powder will contain the least amount of water, because it absorbs water, but the containers with honey and cocunut oil will conserve their amount of water, because they will prevent the water evaporation (especially cocunut oil because it will be on the top side of the container).
